However, a few users jumped to the budget supermarket’s defence, questioning why the customers were not washing their purchases before eating, and praising Aldi for not using pesticides.

In response to the complaints, an Aldi spokesperson said: "Unfortunately, this can happen with products that are grown outdoors in natural conditions. We have shared our customers’ feedback with our supplier."
